Attachment A

Unified Chemical EDD Format The objective of this guidance is to specify the design of the format for the submission of electronic chemical data from the Companies to NDEP. The goal is to streamline the uploading of the Companies’ electronic data into the regional database maintained by the NDEP. This task requires defining each element of the EDD(s) so that they are provided in a consistent format. Provided below are the required elements of the EDD format and descriptions of the elements. Requested formats and codes are provided in appendices, which should be followed to the extent possible. Additions to the fields should be provided as comments to this guidance or in formal communications if they are developed later in the project. Due to the resources required to modify the EDD for each Company it is the desire of the NDEP to modify this EDD as infrequently as possible. The chemical EDD should be delivered as a Microsoft Access database (file format Access 2000 or later) with the data organized into several tables. The fields to be included in each table are described in Appendix A. It is understood that the database developed for the data validation summary report (DVSR) will include additional fields and records (e.g. quality control (QC) data). However, these additional fields and records should be provided in a separate table from the format described here. All native samples, including replicates should be included in this EDD but QC results (other than replicates) will not be incorporated into the regional database at this time. It is understood that not all fields will contain a value. Empty fields will be represented as “NULLs” in the Microsoft Access database. Non-Analytical Data There are some data which will be stored in the regional database but which do not fit into the same format as the analytical data. Examples of these data are hydraulic parameters and soil material properties as described in Appendices G and H. Separate data tables will be developed to hold these data, which are not part of the standard EDD deliveries. Groundwater level monitoring data will be delivered separately from the analytical data and will have its own EDD guidance document. Obsolete Data Over time some data may become obsolete as sampled soils are removed during remediation. The companies must notify NDEP on a per-sample basis of all data which become obsolete. Obsolete samples should be provided in an auxiliary table named “obsolete_samples” included in the first EDD delivery after the data have been rendered obsolete.


CAS Identifiers Assigning a unique identifier for each chemical reported is a major challenge in developing a unified database. For purposes of the EDD, CAS numbers will be used to identify chemicals whenever possible. However, some substances may not have a CAS number, while others may in practice be referred to by more than one CAS number. To address this issue, this document provides a comprehensive list of identifiers and “analyte names” to be used in all chemical EDDs. This list was previously included in this document as Appendix I. However, due to the size of the table, it has now been moved to a separate Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, which can be downloaded from http://ndep.neptuneinc.org (click on the “EDD Lookup Tables” link in the table of contents at the upper left of the home page). All values reported must be identified with a “cas_id” as listed in the official CAS ID/Analyte Name list. Appendix I was developed based on all the data that has been incorporated into the all companies database to date. NDEP recognizes that this list will continue to be refined and expanded as new chemicals are introduced. If an EDD contains chemicals (or other parameters) which are not currently in Appendix I, a list of identifiers and descriptions of those parameters must be provided in a table named “cas_id_new” containing two fields, “cas_id” and “analyte_name.” Given the variety of ways in which CAS ids are employed in actual data collection, it is possible that the companies may not agree with all the choices made in assembling the Appendix I table. The companies are encouraged to provide feedback with the goal of making the table as easy to use as possible. Lookup Tables The latest version of all lookup tables which are attached as appendices to this document will also be made available online as downloadable MS Excel files from the website which hosts the regional database. The URL for the website is http://ndep.gisdt.org


Asbestos NDEP has recently provided technical guidance surrounding the calculation of asbestos related risk (Asbestos-Related Risk Assessment Guidance dated April 24, 2009). The reporting of asbestos in the Companies’ supplied EDD should follow this guidance. Both the asbestos fibrous variety (chrysotile or amphibole) and the size and shape influence the asbestos-related risk (ARR). The modified elutriator method described in that document along with TEM analysis is the preferred technique for asbestos analysis associated with the BMI Complex and Common Areas. The important laboratory reporting parameters for asbestos are: Soil Concentrations (fibers or structures), Analytical Sensitivity (S/g) and Asbestos Sensitivity Units. Note that the Soil Concentration is derived from the number of fibers observed (unitless) times the analytical sensitivity (f/g). The elutriator method provides sensitivity in units of Structures/g PM10 It is critical that the laboratory report the biologically relevant structures – meaning those structures that are within the protocol dimensions of less than 0.4 µm in diameter and are >5 µm but less than 10 µm in length or are of less than 0.4 µm in diameter and > 10 µm in length. These details are consistent with a report of both the Long and Total asbestos structures in each sample. An example of the information that should be reported for an asbestos sample would include (subset shown here of all fields) the following. Note, we have removed the asbestos_type field from the prior EDD structure. Field Name

EDD Data Fields The table below describes the meaning and purpose of each EDD data field. Data requirements for each field are described in Appendix A. Required Fields:

Short Description

Field Name Detailed Description

DVSR Identification

dvsr_id A unique ID for each DVSR, from each company. The ID should contain elements that make it clear which company supplied the DVSR, the year of submittal, and a unique number designation. Format: ZZZZZ-YYYY-XXXX where ZZZZZ = company, or background (BKG), YYYY = number of the DVSR, XXXX = year.

Sub-area or parcel

designation

sub_area A unique designation for each sub-area or parcel.

LOU designation

lou A designation for LOU associated with the sample. If no LOU is associated with the sample this field should be labeled as “NULL”.

Sample top depth

sample_top_depth Sample top depth in feet. For Companies which only record a single sample depth, this value should go in both the sample_top_depth and sample_bottom_depth fields.

Sample bottom depth

sample_bottom_depth Sample bottom depth in feet. For Companies which only record a single sample depth, this value should go in both the sample_top_depth and sample_bottom_depth fields.

Northing Coordinate

northing Northing coordinate of the sample in NAD 1983 State Plane Nevada East feet

Easting Coordinate

easting Easting coordinate of the sample in NAD 1983 State Plane Nevada East feet

Sample Identification -

Field

sample_id_field The ID used on the Chain of Custody, or similar field record. This ID should be unique to the sample and also consistent (identical) for all records associated with that sample. For example, where multiple analytes are reported the sample ID should be identical for all.


Short Description


Sample Identification -

Laboratory

sample_id_lab The ID of the sample used at the laboratory. This ID should generally be unique to the sample and also consistent for all records associated with that sample. For example, where multiple analytes are reported the sample ID should be identical for all. There are instances where a different name may be required (e.g. reanalysis) but the use of multiple names should be minimized as much as possible.

Sample Collection

Information

sample_collection_comment Field for capturing information about how the sample was collected, for example, when groundwater samples have been collected from open boreholes using a bailer or from direct push equipment versus collecting the sample from a well using a submersible pump. This field should be populated only in cases where the sample was collected in a “non-standard” manner.

Laboratory Identification/

code

lab_id A unique identification of each laboratory, down to the laboratory location. For example, TestAmerica-Richland, Washington should have a designation that differs from other TestAmerica locations. Companies should provide a recommended ID for each laboratory currently used or expected. A designation for field analysis should be included.

SDG- Sample Delivery Group

sdg_id The Sample Delivery Group identification supplied by the laboratory.

Analytical Batch

Identification

batch_id The analytical batch identification supplied by the laboratory.

Location Identification

location_id An identification of the well or location where the sample was taken. The ID should be unique to that well or location and should be used in all future reports and EDDs. In the case of wells, the identifier should match the appropriate well name in the All Wells Database currently maintained by BRC. Companies are welcome to edit the All Wells database to ensure that identifiers for their wells match their current usage. For soil data, this identifier will be considered to be Company-specific; as part of the development of the regional database, a location table will be developed which will allow locations to be uniquely identified across companies.

hydrogeologic

hydro The designation of the water-bearing zone associated with the sample: Shallow Zone, Middle Zone, or Deep Zone. This hydrogeologic nomenclature is described in the January 6, 2009 letter (Hydrogeologic and Lithologic Nomenclature Unification) from NDEP to the Companies. This field should be populated for all groundwater samples.


Short Description


lithologic litho The designation of the lithologic nomenclature tags: Qal (Quaternary Alluvium), xMCf (transitional Muddy Creek formation), or UMCf (Upper Muddy Creek formation). This lithologic nomenclature is described in the January 6, 2009 letter (Hydrogeologic and Lithologic Nomenclature Unification) from NDEP to the Companies. This field should be populated for all groundwater, soil gas, and soil samples.

CAS id or short code

cas_id The Chemical Abstracts Society designation for the analyte, or a suitable code if no CAS designation for the analyte in question. Approved codes are listed in Appendix I. Asbestos types are treated as chemicals, in that each asbestos type (Total Chrysotile Protocol Structure, Long Chrysotile Protocol Structure, Long Amphibole Protocol Structure, Total Amphibole Protocol Structure, Long Asbestos Protocol Structure, Total Asbestos Protocol Structure) has its own code This field is also used to capture physical parameters. Appropriate physical parameters are provided in Appendix F.

Initial or Reanalysis

reanalysis_flag The field should contain either “Initial” or “Reanalysis” or similar designations to indicate whether the result is from the initial analysis or reanalysis. A sample that requires dilution and subsequent reanalysis would be so designated as would a sample that required re-extraction.

Lab Reported Result

result_reported The analytical value for that analyte (or physical parameter) as reported by the laboratory. For asbestos, this is the number of structures. This field should always contain a value. In cases where no value is provided by the laboratory (this should be non-radionuclides only), the detect_flag_ra and detect_flag_fod fields should be set to F and result_reported should contain the value from the sample_quantitation_limit field

Result Units result_units Units associated with the reported value.


Short Description


Reported Results

Uncertainty

result_uncertainty The uncertainty value associated with the laboratory reported results. This will apply to radionuclides and possibly other analytes (e.g. XRF analysis results). This field is not applicable to asbestos. The DVSR (or laboratory report within the DVSR) should define the uncertainty (e.g. one sigma).

Asbestos Sensitivity

asbestos_analytical_sensitivity The analytical sensitivity associated with the asbestos results. This should be the Mean value, not a 95% UCL value.

Asbestos Sensitivity

Units

asbestos_sensitivity_units The units associated with the asbestos sensitivity value (structures/gram usually as S/g PM10).

Detect Flag (risk

assessment)

detect_flag_ra A flag, T (true) or F (false), to indicate whether the value is considered a detection or not for purposes of risk assessment. Values less than the Sample Quantitation Limit (SQL) are considered Not Detected, except in the case of radionuclides. For all radionuclide results, the flag will always equal T (true) indicating a value (positive or negative) was reported, regardless of the value relative to the MDA. Other factors, such as blank contamination, can also cause a value to be reported as Not Detected – in these cases the reason for considering the value as Not Detected should be indicated in the final_validation_qualifier field.

Detect Flag (frequency of

detection)

detect_flag_fod A flag, T (true) or F (false), to indicate whether the value is considered a detection or not for purposes of frequency of detection. Values less than the Sample Quantitation Limit (SQL) for non-radionuclides or the MDA for radionuclides are considered Not Detected – all other values are considered Detected. Other factors, such as blank contamination, can also cause a value to be reported as Not Detected – in these cases the reason for considering the value as Not Detected should be indicated in the final_validation_qualifier field.

Method Detection Limit

method_detection_limit The Method Detection Limit for the analyte. This definition should follow the December 3, 2008 NDEP guidance entitled Detection Limits and Data Reporting

Sample Quantitation

Limit

sample_quantitation_limit The SQL for the analytes. This definition should follow the December 3, 2008 NDEP guidance entitled Detection Limits and Data Reporting

Practical Quantitation

Limit

practical_quantitation_limit The Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) for the analyte. This definition should follow the December 3, 2008 NDEP guidance entitled Detection Limits and Data Reporting

Minimum Detectable Activity

minimum_detectable_activity The Minimum Detectable Activity, also known as Minimum Detectable Concentration. This is used for radionuclide results.


Short Description


Percent Moisture

percent_moisture The percentage of moisture of a solid sample. Please provide this record as a whole number, such as 95 for 95% moisture (no decimal).

Dilution Factor dilution_factor Any dilution factor used to arrive at the final reported value.

Laboratory Qualifier

lab_qualifier The qualifier that may have been assigned to a reported value by the laboratory that performed the analysis.

Was result validated

validation_flag A flag, T (true) or F (false). T indicates the value was validated after the laboratory reported the value.

Validation Stage

validation_stage The stage to which the data has been validated. This stage designation should be consistent with the NDEP Guidance dated April 19, 2009. Stage 2B or 4 are the anticipated values. The terms used need to be defined in the DVSR.

Final Validation Qualifier

final_validation_qualifier The final non-laboratory qualifier applied to the value.

Final Validation Reason Codes

final_validation_reason_codes The reason code(s) that corresponds to the final Validation Qualifier (if more than one code, should be represented as a comma-separated list of codes). At this point there is no specified set of values. The companies may use their codes (and combination of codes) as long as all values are defined in the DVSR. All validation values should be consistent with the December 3, 2008 NDEP guidance entitled Detection Limits and Data Reporting document. For example, any reference to a sensitivity indicator (SQL, PQL etc) should be consistent with that guidance and only those sensitivity indicators should be used.

Validation Reason Code

validation_reason_code Individual validation reason code used in lookup table.

Final Validation Reason

Description

validation_reason The description of the reason code. For example, Holding Time Exceeded. The description should be consistent with the DVSR.

Comment Field (Sample)

sample_comment A field to include comments associated with a specific sample.

Comment Field (Result)

result_comment A field to include comments associated with a specific result.


Appendix A: EDD Database Tables and Field Requirements

The EDD should be a Microsoft Access database containing at least four tables: a samples table, a results table, a locations table, and a validation_reason table. The samples table will contain sample metadata and will have field_sample_id as its primary key. The results table will link to the samples table using field_sample_id as a foreign key. The validation reason will have rows consisting of the dvsr_id, the company-specific validation_reason_code, and the corresponding reason description. For convenience, the EDD database should also contain a query that links the samples, location, and result tables, allowing a “flat-file” view of the data. Details of the fields included in each table and the requirements for each field are shown in the table below.

Appendix D: Analytical Method Name/Code Guidance

Recommended format and guidance for analytical names:

• If the method is based on the United Stated Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) SW-846, start the name with “SW-“ followed by the number and any applicable letter: XXXXc such as 8260b (SW-8260b).

• If the method is based on an EPA method that includes a digit after the period (e.g. Clean Water Act methods), be sure to include that, even if the digit is zero. Start the name with EPA: EPA 300.0

• If the method is based on an EPA document and citing that document is sufficient to understand the method used, include the document number: EPA-540-R97-028.

• If the method is based on an ASTM method, include ASTM- prior to the letter and number designation: ASTM D5755-03. Be sure to include the Based Designation (D5755) and Edition-Version (-03).

• If the method is based on Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, include “SM” prior to the number along with the Base Designation (7500) and the method version (-Ra). The results would be “SM7500-Ra.” The DVSR should include the edition (e.g. 18th edition) or year the method was approved.

• Proprietary methods specific to a laboratory should have a designation that can be traced to the DVSR and method standard operating procedure (SOP). The version of the method needs be included in the DVSR and may also be incorporated into the EDD.

Preparation methods are not absolutely required in the EDD but a field (preparation_method) is included in the EDD structure to provide this information. However, all preparation methods that are distinct from the determination method must be included in the DVSR report. If preparation methods are included in the EDD they need to be in a separate column. A designation indicating that method is a modified version (e.g. mod) is recommended but not required. However, the DVSR should indicate if the method is a modified version of a published method.

Appendix I: CAS IDS/ANALYTE CODES

Because the CAS ID/Analyte Code table is so large, it is no longer included in this document, but is now available as a separate Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The latest version of the spreadsheet is available on the BMI Complex, Common Areas, and Vicinity Database (BMIdbase) web site at http://ndep.neptuneinc.org/ndep_gisdt/home/index.xml. On the home page, click on the “EDD Lookup Tables” link in the table of contents at the left.


Appendix J: Annotation of Updates to the Unified Chemical EDD Format Document

June, 2010 1. As of the previous version of the EDD guidance, the CAS ID/Analyte Code table was made available in electronic

format as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. In this version, this table has been removed from the document because it is so large and unwieldy. Appendix I now contains instructions for accessing the table in electronic form.

2. In the EDD Data Fields section, guidance was clarified for the following fields: a. hydro b. litho c. result_reported d. detect_flag_ra

3. The table in Appendix A was replaced with a new table containing more detailed information about data types and requirements (for example, which fields cannot be left empty) for each field in the EDD, in addition to the original information about which fields make up each of the four required EDD tables.

4. In Appendix B, added a new matrix code LE for leachate. February, 2010

1. Clarified description of Well ID field. 2. Added this appendix. 3. Added section “Lookup Tables.” 4. Updates to Appendix I, CAS IDS/ANALYTE CODES:

a. Replaced redundant/overlapping CAS IDs for TPH analytes with 5 new IDs: TPH_GRO, TPH_DRO, TPH_ORO, TPH_EFH, and TPH_HEMOG

b. Changed CAS ID Z7HEX to 35507-09-6 for [Z]-7-Hexadecene c. Removed redundant or erroneous CAS IDs ‘163’, DICBTOT, DPPT, 100022-54-1(Ethyl 2-chloro-2-[3-

chlorobenzene]), OSOIL, 100021-66-2(Trans-2,3-dimethylthiophane) d. There were duplicate CAS IDs for analytes 13C12-PCB 77, 13C12-PCB 81, 13C12-PCB 118, 13C12-PCB

126, and 13C12-PCB 169 – duplicates were removed. e. Changed analyte name for CAS ID 608-73-1 from 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane to Lindane f. Fixed misspelling of analyte name for CAS ID 126-98-7 (Methacrylonitrile was spelled Methylacrylonitrile) g.
